This bachelor's thesis deals with the design and implementation of a control system for a bulk material dispenser in a quarry and the development of its functional prototype. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on the system design with regard to economic efficiency, universal implementability, and reliability. It also discusses the behavior of bulk materials within the storage hopper and the design of a computational model for converting the measured material level in the hopper into the material mass stored in the hopper. The practical part of the thesis is focused on the development of a portable simulation prototype of the system. Specifically, it describes the selection of appropriate components, their interconnection, and the development of an operator PLC application. Attention is also devoted to verifying the functionality of the simulation prototype and validating the proposed computational model.
